2012 Fitzgerald 37 Daysailer “Untide”
February 4th, 2013
Styled with traditional lines and built of modern cold-molded wood construction, the Fitzgerald 37 rises to the top of the fleet in beauty, performance, and comfort. The lean hull shape with balanced ends defines fast, responsive performance combined with great looks. Stability derives from a 4,400 pound fin keel below while a 46′ carbon fiber rig carries the fully battened main and self-tacking headsail. The classic cockpit was designed for total comfort and ease of line handling and can be enjoyed for single-handed sailing or with a full complement of friends. Built to the highest standard with no compromise, the Fitzgerald 37 is the pinnacle of the new breed of New England daysailer.

2010 N.G. Herreshoff Yawl “Little M”
December 31st, 2009
French & Webb was commissioned to build a reproduction of this 1926 design originally named Gee Whiz. She is a slight enlargement of NG Herreshoff’s last personal yacht Pleasure. The original 34 foot yacht is still sailing under the name of Aida.
Construction followed the 1926 drawing using traditional steam-bent frames and double planking. The yacht also has a centerboard, its engine mounted off center to starboard.
